Yesterday I had to wait for my friends quite a lot since the ferry had some delay, so instead of 9 o'clock in the Morning, they arrived at 2 o'clock in the Afternoon.
We ate a Gyro and we had some talks. We left Igoumenitsa around 15 o'clock and we headed to Albania, by passing on the coast of Greece, were we rode almost on some beaches. Very beatiful places and landscapes. Filippo tried a special on the sand...it ended up with him kissing some sand. In Albania we also rode on the coast and we took the rope ferry in Butrut.
Then in Borsh we had the first unpaved road together and for Flurin was the first ever. He realized soon that he wanted to kiss stones and dirt too. Very nice road, till it started raining hard and the light was turned off very fast, so we rode in a storm in the night, this is very dangerous on a motorbike. We reached Vlorë and we managed to find a good and cheap hotel.

COFFE SOLVES EVERYTHING!
Today started easy and peasy, on the road to Leskovik we passed through an oilfield: I've never seen one in my life and was quite impressive. Then to Ersekë, were we had lunch in a local restaurant. The meal was good and very cheap. We rode on the albanian region of the lake Prespa.
This was a tough unpaved road full of mud puddles or pools, since some where really huge and deep. This is a place where you don't want to fall from the motorbike, but Flurin the newbie decided that it was the right time to leave the Limbo and get baptized. Very nice ride and the abused e07 tyres proved to be ok also in this tough situation! Out of the mud the KLE decided to not work anymore: same issue as mine had in Bosnia, the side sand switch blocks and doesn't allow the bike to run. Removed it and the ride went on till Pogradec where we are right now. Albania is really a paradise for dirt riding and is also super cheap!
